So far, he's searched high and low, and none of the Benghazi suspects have been found at the "19th hole" on any course.  Maybe they're on Martha's Vineyard.  I'm sure a full-scale search will be done there.  


Imagine how many embassies we'd be closing this week if Al Qaeda HADN'T been decimated.  Luckily, it's only about two dozen as of this writing.

Unless the investigation results are in agreement with your pre-conceived ideas it's inadequate?

I'm sorry.  Did you mean to write, "Unless the investigation results are in agreement with your preconceived ideas it's inadequate?"

No, I meant to illustrate how bereft of ideas and incapable of commenting upon thread content you are.
You truly are a zero.

Keep it up, asshole, you prove you are that with every post.

It is really painful to see you try to use a dictionary.

As an illustration, below is the result of your search at dictionary.com.

preconceive[ pree-kuhn-seev ]
verb (used with object) pre·con·ceived, pre·con·ceiv·ing.
1. to form a conception or opinion of beforehand, as before seeing evidence or as a result of previously held prejudice.

Please note the spelling format of the word preconceive, which is the root.

Note the LACK of a hyphen. Preconceive is NOT a hyphenated word.

I don't think your credibility to this point is improved by your attempt to embarrass or harass me. This incompetence and lack of ability to read seriously throws your content posts into question as well. After all, if you are such a know nothing about grammar, yet want to prove how smart you are about it, is anything that you post reliable or worth reading?

Katie, I can see how it must be frustrating to have your ass handed to you in a game where you believe yourself to be far superior.  But in the end, finding out you're no better than any of those which you belittle for spelling and grammar errors can be good for you.  How's the old saying go?  "Admitting it is the first step."

i agree admitting you are wrong is the first step. Now go and learn how to read a dictionary. When you do, I will stop handing your ass back to you on a silver plate.

Are you assuming that, because the page showed "pre-conceived" at the top, it's automatically correct?  Because, if you type "tax payer" as two words, THAT also shows up at the top of the page.  Yet, the only place a hyphen shows on that dictionary page in "preconceived" is at the top, but nowhere else. 

Or do we just keep playing by "Katie's rules, Katie's game", thus Katie's always right, Katie's never wrong, etc?

Funny how it's been mentioned on here regularly and often for almost 2 years, despite how it's not in the news.

If you were murdered and no one was brought to justice (and apparently there wasn't a whole hell of a lot of investigation by the people who SHOULD have been leading the investigation), would there be an expiration date for when people should stop talking about it?  

Just like how George W. Bush was never really held accountable for his failures that led to 9-11?  Sorry, but what happened in Benghazi is nothing compared to that failure.  So give it a rest already, ok?

[joan1984]

No rest for Hillary, and Obama matters little as the Press will continue to ignore this, until someone responsible demands under oath answers. Voters hopefully will primary GOP foot draggers soon.

No m4m. We were playing by your rules. The rules you established with the tax payer debacle. How does it feel to be trolled?

Gotta say, it's the best you've given me in a long time.  Was it good for you?

Anyway, the old clock on the way says "this ol' man..."

Night, Katiekins.    Parting is such sweet...  I'll leave it at that.

So, at last count, the US had closed 22 embassies, saying the move was in response to threats of an Al Qaeda plot.

Now, I'm wondering how many embassies we'd be closing if Al Qaeda hadn't been decimated and on the run (as we've been reminded so many times by President Obama and Joe "Biden his time").

I'm guessing 22.

Editorial: Who’s ‘on the run?’

“Al-Qaeda is on the run and Osama bin Laden is no more.” — President Obama, Oct. 5, 2012.

“We face an ongoing threat from al-Qaeda and its affiliates.” — White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, Sept. 6, 2013.

Yesterday it was U.S. embassy personnel in Yemen and any U.S. citizens who could find transport out who were on the run in the wake of an ongoing terror threat in the region and in the virtually ungoverned country of Yemen.

It was the most recent effort to get American diplomats out of harm’s way that included temporary shutdowns of 22 U.S. facilities in the Middle East and North Africa and broad warnings to Americans living in or visiting those regions to be on alert. The Obama administration disclosed Monday that the order was given after conversations were intercepted between Ayman al-Zawahri, bin Laden’s successor, and Nasir al-Wuhayshi, head of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, indicating a serious terror plot was aimed at Western interests.

Yesterday a drone strike in Yemen killed four men riding in one car all believed to be al-Qaeda members. It was the fourth U.S. drone strike in the area in the past two weeks.

Now we have no quarrel with the abundance of caution being exercised by the State Department in conjunction with the White House, nor with however many drone strikes it takes to slow down the many-headed hydra that is now the operational al-Qaeda.

Such caution, however, comes nearly a year too late to have saved U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other brave Americans slaughtered during the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the Benghazi consulate — an attack the White House tried to deny was terror related. Even today the president continues to list Benghazi among the “phony scandals” somehow invented by Republicans.

The terror threat is real today; it was real a year ago — yes, even as the president continued to be in denial. Well, the campaign is over, Osama is dead, but not his heirs and al-Qaeda is far from being on the run. When do gullible voters get an apology for being lied to?
